Wake In Fright retold

Director Kriv Stenders is joined by actors David Wenham and Sean Keenan, producers Helen Bowden and Kristian Moliere to discuss Network Ten’s Wake In Fright mini-series.

Kriv Stenders says that the two-part mini-series will question how much Australia has changed since the novel was released in 1961.

“Wake In Fright taps into very profound themes about Australia,” Kriv says.

“It’s a great story and it really does warrant retelling in a modern way.”

Wake In Fright premieres 8 October on Network Ten
